Dopamine Receptors and Microwave Energy Exposure

Abstract

Exposure to low intensity microwave energy has been found to alter behavior and brain chemistry. It had been earlier hypothesized that the dopamine systems of the brain may be involved in the mediation of these effects; and evidence is accumulating that indicates this is the case. Recent reports suggest interactions between the dopamine and the endorphin systems of the brain. An extension of the hypothesis suggests that microwave energy exposure, by interferring with the DA system, should disturb these interactions in predictable ways. The experimentation reported here, using a standard measure of opiate system function, is a direct test of this possibility. It was found that exposure to low intensity microwave energy blocks the differential effects of high and low doses of apomorphine in a classic opiate system test.
